Olga Pericet is one of the most versatile flamenco bailaoras performing today. Her work spans traditional flamenco through to contemporary and Spanish classical dance. "Rosa, Metal, Ceniza" (Rose, Metal, Ash) is typical of her output, combining demanding technique, different dance styles and jaw-dropping athleticism. This show from one of flamenco´s biggest rising stars is a treat for dance lovers.

The presence of statuesque Manuela Carrasco is enough to make audiences catch their breath and fall silent. Yet this international star, known in her native Spain as the Queen of Gypsy Flamenco Dance, remains strikingly down to earth, honoring the grassroots that sparked her art and maintaining traditions rarely seen on American stages.

Known for her unprecedented energy and mesmerizing stage presence, the highly acclaimed dance icon returns to Lisner with "Suspiro Flamenco", a show that gives us flamenco in its purest, simplest and most powerful form.

Capacity is limited, and tickets are required.

Please note: this event takes place on Wednesday, March 7 at 9:30pm in the Media and Public Affairs Building, 805 21 ST NW, and not at GW Lisner Auditorium. Patrons must be 21 or older to consume alchohol.

Seville's Rafaela Carrasco is a breathtaking dancer and one of the most important flamenco choreographers of the younger generation. An award-winning choreographer, Rafaela Carrasco presents "Vamos al Tiroteo", a show that sets a selection of popular Spanish songs originally recorded by Federico García Lorca with the flamenco star La Argentinita on vocals in 1931. Carrasco transfers these songs to the present day, finding new life and energy in the music that inspired a hugely influential generation of artists, who came to be known as the "Generation of 27."

Born in Benin in West Africa, Angelique Kidjo is a Grammy award-winning singer known for her "superhuman" vocal power as well as her dynamic and uplifting music. Kidjo's art crosses boundaries, genres and ethnicities, finding the connections that link musical forms from every part of the world, while still bonding closely with her own traditions.

Her internationally acclaimed repertoire includes collaborations with recording artists such as Peter Gabriel, Alicia Keys, Branford Marsalis, John Legend, and many more.
